Yeah, but nominating a few oddballs forces people to take notice and nominate people that really should have been senators already, dude. It's for the Greater Good or some shit, yo.

*blink*Shroomy can construct decent sentences without mashing them up? I must on something.

Don't worry Shroom-meister, I'm sure you'll get some votes.

We can always wait for a lull in the nominating, maybe in March or something, and put on a concerted effort to get Shroomy in as Senator from the PRFY in there. Regular folk can be [s]douchebags[/s] Senators too!

Incidentally, March is where mein birthday is at too! It'll be a perfect present!

Aw, shucks! I love you guys!

shroom is a lovely boy and i wont hear a bad word against him - LUSY-CHAN!Shit! Man, I didn't think of that!

Hmm, I'd nominate Stuart, his contributions to the board have been excellent and AFAIK he's done a good job of moderating the HPCA forum. However, I don't know if he actually wants the position. I'll PM him and ask.

General note, I'm gonna be bringing back the Chancellor's Discretion provision so if anybody doesn't bother to:

a) check to ensure their candidate actual wants the jobb) link to their profile in the initial nominationc) actually provide some evidence of support

then the nominee is gonna be kicked.

Would you like to be nominated for the Senate? Your comments on dealing with miscreants are usually amusing (and sensible), and AFAIK the minimum participation is just voting on something twice a month or so.

I would be very pleased to serve should I be honored by nomination and election. Thank you for considering me for this position.

Right, if someone would like to second that, I will see about digging up some sample posts. (Stuart's user profile)

I'll third that. I've wondered why Stuart wasn't put up for nomination a long time ago; my assumption was that he was too busy with work and life for it. I guess I was wrong, so definitely yes to nomination for Stuart.

I feel obliged to post here, due to Skimmers posts in the senate and some questions. I am not nominatable for the near future. It's for IRL reasons and not for any "the senate is dumb lol" stuff.

As Ace is clearly back from his hiatus, I nominated him for the Senate.

Seriously though, don't nominate Ace, he'll cry.

Stuart and Bounty are good candidates and worthy to be seated. I would vote for them any time.

I do believe another member to be deserving as well. He was considered for senate membership in the past, and while not being one of the more active Posters, is certainly worthy of a Senate seat in my opinion: Balrog.

He has indicated that he is willing to serve in such a capacity via PM.

Anyone who has spent some time in the Fantasy section of the board must have noticed his contributions, especially regarding LotR.

I read the entirety of the Bestiary and his OP for the endurance thread. I don't follow STGOD or fanfics, and his posting history otherwise is modest but didn't turn up any egregious examples. On the basis of the legwork for his long-term projects and staying out of trouble otherwise, I will second Balrog's nomination.
